It's an early (or late) birthday present for innovators!

Imagine getting a chance to test your innovative solution with MNC's from Germany. This is your chance today!

Who are they?

MRANTI, START IIX and Fraunhofer IEM are creating a bang together by creating an opportunity for startups and SME's to pitch their product to German Corporates. Yeap, they are helping you to go global!

Candyland for innovation. Maybe that's why there's a lot of ant's.

MRANTI is not new to the innovation scene. They are the leader in accelerating research and innovation in emerging technologies. We've had experience hosting some of our students for pitching competitions at their Bukit Jalil campus. You also have a chance to meet hardworking ANTs there. Such an amazing experience!

Ibrahim is on the far right and Kay is second to the left. 

START IIX is an innovation and impact powerhouse from Johor. They currently run the Innovation Impact Exchange in Menara JLand. We actually personally know Kay Morris and Ibrahim Majid from START IIX. Hit them up if you guys are ever in Johor or want to start something there.

Very clean and modern. We wish we could visit their campus.

Fraunhofer IEM developed a program based on the Test Automation Framework (TAF) which focuses on the trifecta of desirability, feasibility, and viability, a structured innovation process towards the discovery of innovation "sweet spot" in meeting the Corporates' problem statements for Proof of Concept (PoC).
